Description:

This magnificent Round Meadows estate with a fantastic 9700 sf house on 5.346 acres of private property is now on the market for the first time in more than 54 years. Located in the private Tokeneke Association with protected land trust property to the East and West of it, Round Meadows is the ultimate in privacy and natural beauty. The owners had the vision to preserve, restore and ultimately combine the best of an elegant and storied past of the original grandeur of its early twentieth century origins with new and soaring modern spaces. They meticulously recreated the splendor of the arches, moldings, windows, light fixtures and even the original sweeping driveway while updating it for the state-of-the-art fine living of today. Round Meadows' totally renovated 19 room home has 7 bedrooms, 7 full baths, including a spectacular primary suite with spa, 3 half baths, library, office and guest suite. Enter through the 2 story foyer with soaring ceilings to the 3 large entertaining rooms, comprised of the living room, sunroom with bar, and an elegant formal dining room with fireplace. The inviting gourmet kitchen is seamlessly connected to a cozy family room with a fireplace which opens onto extensive terraces that overlook acres of manicured lawns and gardens. Add the 3 car garage off a grand mud hall with bath and laundry. Round Meadows honors the past as it pays forward an aspirational essence in the new construction feel, anchored by old world sophistication.
